Tape and Media Storage

Store vital business information in confidence

From customer details to contracts, HR information to financial records, the information you hold is vital to the operation of your business. So you need to make sure it’s safe and secure.

Any number of incidents could damage or even wipe out your data. A cyber-attack, a natural disaster, or even a simple power failure could leave you suddenly without the data you need to keep your business on its feet. Off-site data management can ensure that such disasters are a hiccup rather than a disaster.

No organisation can afford the impact data loss causes to business far and wide, especially when your reputation is staked on it.

Jason Briscoe, IT Operations Director at SCC

We’ve been storing data for our customers for over 30 years, with secure facilities in over 50+ locations across the UK that are currently storing over 2.7 million back-up tapes, as well as their CDs, DVDs, magnetic tapes, media reels, and even microfiche film. So it’s little wonder our customers trust us to store and manage their invaluable data.

A tape and media storage service designed for you

Everyone’s data management needs are different. Whether you need a comprehensive air-gapped backup plan, a legacy archive, or simply storage for media reels or microfiche film, our dedicated account managers will listen carefully to your needs and create a plan to meet your unique challenges.

Since the very first day we’ve been hugely impressed, there’s simply no comparison with our old providers. The professionalism and level of service from our account manager and the Restore Records Management team mean we’ve now got tremendous flexibility for specific projects or ad-hoc requests to be fulfilled promptly and intelligently.

Jason Briscoe, IT Operations Director at SCC

Once we’ve designed your storage plan, we’ll arrange to move your media to our secure facilities. Our team is trained to our exacting standards, so they know precisely how to handle your media tapes. They’ll collect and transport them in our own GPS-tracked vehicles, so you can rest easy knowing your valuable data is always in our professional care.

Safe and secure facilities

We’ve developed specially-designed computer tape vaults that are as effective at protecting your data from unauthorised access as they are at preserving your invaluable data.

Each vault is protected by 24-hour security, CCTV cameras, and advanced access control including 2-Factor Authentication (2FA), lock and keypad entry systems. No-one can access your media without your authorisation, and your off-site storage plan will be compliant with privacy regulations such as GDPR.

And each of our facilities is outfitted with state-of-the-art preservation systems that carefully control the temperature, the humidity, and protect against fire and flood. So you can be sure your data is safe and secure in our care.

We can be fully confident that the storage facilities are correctly climate controlled and that all our tapes are cared for so they’re ready for action in an emergency.

Jason Briscoe, IT Operations Director at SCC

And with secure facilities situated in over 50 locations across the UK, you’ll never be more than two hours from your data.

Managing your tapes

Our customers have been using our media and tape storage service for over 30 years, keeping their essential data safe in our secure facilities in over 50+ locations across the UK. 

Currently, we’re storing over 2.7 million back-up tapes, as well as CDs, DVDs, magnetic tapes, media reels, and even microfiche film. So it’s little wonder our customers trust us to store and manage their invaluable data.

And we know that, when you need your data, you need it fast. So you can arrange same-day or next-day collections and deliveries, 7 days a week. 

We’ll also make sure that your data backups keep going; our highly trained technicians can change tapes for you, so you don’t need to send someone from your technical team. Instead, your team can focus on the jobs that need their attention, while we keep your off-site backups progressing.

Restore Records Management’s tape engineers are skilled and authorised to change tapes at their storage facilities, so we no longer need to send anyone from our IT team to do so.

Jason Briscoe, IT Operations Director at SCC

And when you need to destroy an old tape, you can do that via the Web Portal too. Our secure destruction processes can be conducted on- or off-site, and we’ll securely erase your data and thoroughly destroy the old media through punching, shredding or degaussing; whichever delivers the highest data security.

Helping people like you

Jason Briscoe had a problem. As IT Operations Director at SCC, Europe’s largest independent IT solutions business, he had a lot of data that needed off-site storage and management. But his supplier wasn’t meeting his expectations.

We needed a supplier that showed capability, agility and ambition to work with us in a partnership geared towards improved levels of service, enhanced data security, increased customer satisfaction, as well as driving service outcome for our business and valued customers.

Jason Briscoe, IT Operations Director at SCC

Jason reached out to us and we immediately got to work on designing a data management plan that was right for SCC.

With so many customers, managing a huge amount of data could have been a headache. We made sure that SCC’s data was clearly arranged by customer and SCC’s own data to make it easy for Jason and his team to manage.

We also included tape changing in his plan to remove one more worry from Jason’s plate; now he can keep his team focused on the work they needed to do, knowing that we’re keeping SCC’s data safe.

We were so impressed at the constant communication between us and our account manager, and with the whole set up and security that after our initial migration of two customers’ tapes, we moved 13 further customers in a record two months and now keep approximately 18,000 tapes in store.

Why store tapes?

As a company, you handle confidential information on a daily basis, and are entrusted by your staff, customers and suppliers to protect this information. Data protection legislation also places a legal duty on businesses to protect confidential information, with unlimited fines for those who fail to do so. This includes all methods of information storage, not just paper documents. If a breach in security does occur, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has the authority to impose huge fines in the instance of non-compliance with data protection legislation.

For many organisations, information is the most important and most valuable commodity they own. No company can afford to underestimate the cost, to both their reputation and their bottom line, of information falling into the wrong hands. In an increasingly competitive business environment, your company’s integrity, reputation and prosperity depend upon the secure handling, storage and destruction of sensitive information.

Why Restore Records Management?

Our facilities have secure entry systems and CCTV monitoring round the clock. Our facilities are temperature and humidity controlled that include fire suppression systems. Tapes are stored on specialist racking to protect your documents. Tapes are barcoded and tagged to be easily traced for retrieval and collection.

Our vehicles are GPS-tracked with vetted drivers and operatives at every stage.

Moving your archives over to Restore could not be easier with our teams managing the whole process on your behalf to save you time and money.

On-going the pick up and retrieval of your tapes can be actioned directly through our RSWEB software or via our admin teams who are on hand to facilitate the movement of your tapes.
